Mostly just highlights the PDA support, now that we can say this talks to all the Linux based PDAs; adds "more info" URL.

This adds some simple unlink test cases. I've only run these against OHCI so far, and so far only in simple configurations (only one active device), where it hasn't yet turned up problems.

This fixes <linux/device.h> so dev_warn() uses KERN_WARNING, instead of a non-existent symbol. It also uses parens around some arguments that need them ... those macros are now usable.

This patch removes the special-case code for START_STOP. It can be safely removed now because the higher SCSI layers won't send this command unless the device indicates that it needs it to allow media access.

This patch fixes some spelling errors and makes some comments a bit more clear.

This patch fixes the case of an ABORT happening during the auto-sense processing when using the ISD-200 driver.
-
Matthew Dharm authored
Once upon a time, the SCSI command structure could only hold a maximum of 12 bytes. Thus, the ISD-200 driver needed an entirely separate function to work with 16-byte commands. Now that 16-bytes is stored, we can cut the duplicates.

Since we now test for aborts at a higher level, the low-level end of the drivers don't need to be constantly testing for aborts. This patch removes that excess logic.

(Yes, they should probably use __stringify() instead).

This patch provides basic x86 support for modules.
-
Rusty Russell authored
This is an implementation of the in-kernel module loader extending the try_inc_mod_count() primitive and making its use compulsory. This has the benifit of simplicity, and similarity to the existing scheme. To reduce the cost of the constant increments and decrements, reference counters are lockless and per-cpu. Eliminated (coming in following patches): o Modversions o Module parameters o kallsyms o EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and MODULE_LICENCE checks o DEVICE_TABLE support. New features: o Typesafe symbol_get/symbol_put o Single "insert this module" syscall interface allows trivial userspace. o Raceless loading and unloading You will need the trivial replacement module utilities from: http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/module-init-tools-0.6.tar.gz

By Kai Germaschewski. This patch adds a -DKBUILD_MODNAME to the kernel compile, which contains the base of the module name which is being built. - Some sreorganization of the c_flags since they're needed for generating modversions (.ver) and compiling - Use the right KBUILD_MODNAME also when the user just wants a .i/.s/.lst file for debugging and also when generating modversions - It looks like with your current approach you can't have a ',' or '-' in KBUILD_MODNAME - however, that means that KBUILD_MODNAME is not quite right for passing module parameters for built-in modules on the command line, it would be confusing to pass parameters for ide-cd as ide_cd.foo=whatever. So that part could use a little more thought. - If you think your module_names trick makes a noticable difference, feel free to re-add it. - It's possible that objects are linked into more than one module - I suppose this shouldn't be a problem, since these objects hopefully don't have a module_init() nor do they export symbols. Not sure if your patch did handle this.

- compile fixes in amiflop.c - removal of dead local variables in ll_rw_blk.c - removed gratitious devfs_get_handle() in usb/input/hiddev.c (no need to do lookup for "usb" and then create "hid" in there - enough to create "usb/hid" at once).

dasd.c forgot to set ->private_data, but was using it ;-/ Fixed. Remaining dasd_devmap_from_kdev() callers switched to dasd_devmap_from_bdev() (other than call from dasd_devmap_from_bdev(), that is). dasd_devmap_from_kdev() merged into dasd_devmap_from_bdev().

Alexander Viro authored
Eliminated several gratitious ->bd_dev uses.
-
Alexander Viro authored
Bunch of kdevname() uses replaced with bdevname(). __bdevname() switched from kdev_t to dev_t; callers updated.

Compile fixes, cleanup.

RAID autoconfig rewritten to use syscalls and moved into do_mounts.c; use of devfs_get_handle() in do_mounts.c also rewritten in syscalls.

paride/pseudo.h fed through Lindent, use of timer replaced with schedule_delayed_work() - that's what the old code tried to emulate.

Alexander Viro authored
Instead of user_path_walk() and comparing dentries, sys_swapoff() opens its argument and compares ->i_mapping. Result: slightly simpler code and swapoff(2) becomes tolerant to e.g. swapon /dev/sda2 switch root from initrd to sda1 .... swapoff /dev/sda2 # where /dev is from sda1, not from initrd current tree fails in the case above (different dentries -> no love).

Spotted by Andries - cloning namespace assumes that new tree is congruent to the old one (when switching root/cwd) but actually inverts the order of children in each node.

Buffer I/O error on device loop: its use of sendfile is (trivially) broken - retval is usually count done, only an error when negative. This code (like the old one) does not correctly handle partial reads. Nearby spinlocking clearly bogus, delete instead of remarking on it.

This file was somehow skipped (along with jfs_acl.h> when I checked in the ACL support.

This patch will break some userspace monitoring apps in the name of having sane disk statistics in 2.6.x. Patch from Rick Lindsley <ricklind@us.ibm.com> In 2.5.46, there are now disk statistics being collected twice: once for gendisk/hd_struct, and once for dkstat. They are collecting the same thing. This patch removes dkstat, which also had the disadvantage of being limited by DK_MAX_MAJOR and DK_MAX_DISK. (Those #defines are removed too.) In addition, this patch removes disk statistics from /proc/stat since they are now available via sysfs and there seems to have been a general preference in previous discussions to "clean up" /proc/stat. Too many disks being reported in /proc/stat also caused buffer overflows when trying to print out the data. The code in led.c from the parisc architecture has not apparently been recompiled under recent versions of 2.5, since it references kstat.dk_drive which doesn't exist in later versions. Accordingly, I've added an #ifdef 0 and a comment to that code so that it may at least compile, albeit without one feature -- a step up from its state now. If it is preferable to keep the broken code in, that patch may easily be excised from below.
